Adjust Alt on log files after flight?

Posted by travisneedham on October 1, 2012 at 11:42am

Hi,

I am a total newb here, so forgive the simple question, but I just flew my maiden voyage with my APM 1 on my Bixler 2 yesterday and I am now looking at my log files.  I figured out how to look at the log in Google earth, using the KMZ file, but the alt is too high.  Can I adjust it some how, to set my take-off/landing point to be on the ground? (on the same plane at the Google earth image)

Also, I can't seem to find the matching tlog file in my logs folder, for my flight.  I have loaded every tlog file I have from yesterday, and none of them are right.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks guys!

    Your rlog/tlog show 3 'flights' at 8-11, 8-12, and 8-14 pm.

    Your kmz file was pulled form the APM at 8-27 pm being log 13 I think.

    If it was the last log file in the APM then it should go with the last rlog/tlog in the list at 8-14pm

    That's my guess anyway.

    Thanks for the help guys.  I've attached screenshots of my logs.  The name of the tlog files are different that the others.  2012-09-30 20-27 13.kmz is the right KMZ (the others are empty), which tlog file goes with that?

    also make sure you have ground elevation turn on in google earth.

    If you open your file in another application, like a spreadsheet, then data alteration would be straight forward.

    The MP is pretty good at storing files so are you sure you had a connection during the flight?
